Seven-D is 50/50 for the Preds

ST. LOUIS The common rule in hockey is you keep the same lineup you won with the game before. For the Predators, that would mean they’d go with seven defensemen at the Blues tonight — which is what they used to defeat San Jose.

This could mean defenseman Jonathon Blum would go into the lineup, and possibly forward Matt Halischuk would come out.

When asked about the possibility of seven-defensemen, coach Barry Trotz said there was a “50/50″ chance he would go that type of lineup.
